June 24, 200521 yr I voted yes, and I am still with Al, IMO he will keep us in the game EDIT: Leiter is 3-1 with a 2.64 ERA against Tampa Bay lifetime.
June 24, 200521 yr Leiter is going to be pitching on the road, so definitely YES. Our offense however will probably get shutout though.

I predict something along the line of 13-11 Marlins.
June 24, 200521 yr Author i'd like to add that the rays have had 4 great games in a row, so now they will not necessarilty be due against us.. If we keep our pitching as good as it is, and can put a few runs up, we can get atleast 2 wins in Tampa..
June 24, 200521 yr I believe he can, but the bats need to help it out. And it can't just be one person providing the whole offense like Cabs did tonight, it has the be 9 guys out there getting the timely hits and scoring the runs.
June 24, 200521 yr I think that he won't be able to keep it up but he'll still get the win. I don't think he's going to go far in the game like always, he's going to pitch at most 6 innings, but that'll be enough. Remember were playing the Rays, and we just broke out with 8 runs tonight, so we'll be giving Leiter a lot of run support tomorrow, and he should be able to get the win.

He would have only had 2 RBI if guys hadnt been on base for him. Thats how a good team works, people get on base for the 3-4-5 guys and they knock in the runs
June 24, 200521 yr Being that we are on the road, and I am eternally optimistic, I voted yes. :confused
June 24, 200521 yr Author this is a HUGE turnaround from what would have been said a week ago. glad to see it.
June 24, 200521 yr Author the official website: Leiter is 3-1 with a 2.64 ERA against Tampa Bay lifetime.
June 24, 200521 yr So far he's only thrown 30 pitches in two innings. Whoa, keep this up and he could go 7!!!
